bus or from remote applications found in the bus.</p>
<p>When dealing with the D-Bus bus service or with remote
applications over D-Bus, a number of error conditions can happen.
This error conditions are sometimes signalled by a returned error
value or by a QDBusError.</p>
<p>C++ and Java exceptions are a valid analogy for D-Bus errors:
instead of returning normally with a return value, remote
applications and the bus may decide to throw an error condition.
However, the <a href="qtdbus.html">QtDBus</a> implementation does
not use the C++ exception-throwing mechanism, so you will receive
QDBusErrors in the return reply (see <a href="qdbusreply.html#error">QDBusReply.error</a>()).</p>
<p>QDBusError objects are used to inspect the error name and
message as received from the bus and remote applications. You
should not create such objects yourself to signal error conditions
when called from D-Bus: instead, use <a href="qdbusmessage.html#createError">QDBusMessage.createError</a>() and
<a href="qdbusconnection.html#send">QDBusConnection.send</a>().</p>
<hr /><h2>Type Documentation</h2><h3 class="fn"><a name="ErrorType-enum" />QDBusError.ErrorType</h3><p>In order to facilitate verification of the most common D-Bus
errors generated by the D-Bus implementation and by the bus daemon
itself, <a href="qdbuserror.html">QDBusError</a> can be compared to
a set of pre-defined values:</p>
